Hi Mel, Alot of people I knew of Chi that we're in the know had the Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes'"What Can A Man Do" on the Arctic label, myself included. You brought back my memory to me. You don't mind me asking Mel do you know the flip-side the B side? Don

Hello Submarine, Phillybusters!

Hey, harold MELvin AND THEN blue notes, Very charismatic labels and picks, friend! These are authentic museum pieces. In the pick of The Volcanos I only can recognize Earl Young (at the center). I don't knows if there are some other (after) Trammps members. Also until now i believed Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes only recorded for Harton, Value and Josie records in the sixties.

Thanks for sharing those great stuff with all of us.

Peace & Soul Food!

I'am kind of curious myself. I had to come back to this thread. The Valcanos' "(It's Against) The Laws Of Love", wasn't it written by Carl Fisher lead vocalist for The Vibrations? Honey & The Bees' "Why Do You Hurt The One Who Loves You" single looks quite also filmiliar to me, I may have had it once in my record collection once? DON

Mel,

If you need this one for your Arctic collection, I have a WLP that I'm willing to swap:

Honey & the Bees "Love Addict"/"I'll Be There"

Give me a shout off-list if interested. Still enjoying the scans--any chance of a scan of the great Gene Woodbury on Del-Val? Thanks in advance.

All the stuff featured are either from my boxes or from mates who have or have had the material featured.

Although the majority comes from myself. glad you like them.
